My Hero, Fedor

Who would have thought the best fighter in the world was also a cartoonist?!Who knows, maybe he has other secret talents too. I vote him president of world culture.

This is the great Fedor Emelianenko - the most fun fighter in the world to watch.The guy fights in every style, thinks like a scientist and artist at the same time.What's extra cool is he never shows emotion. He just analyzes his opponent and then takes him apart.Look at him take out Mark "The Hammer" Coleman.

Obviously Fedor does have much emotion because he puts it into his cartoons.He just doesn't give it away in the ring. He won all these fights, by the way, and in very entertaining ways.

Somewhere I have a drawing I did of him for a new idea for a cartoon series, but I can't seem to find it. I'll do more then.

Fedor is my hero and by far my favorite fighter. I am so surprised how many people in America are unaware of him. Everyone in the UFC respects him. GSP thinks he is the best, Frank Mir admits that he could not beat him now and Joe Rogan once told me a few years ago (during the pride era) that Fedor was by far the best fighter in the world. Without Fedor the UFC has a shallow heavy weight division. I am very surprised to find out he makes cartoons.

Fedor isn't just a great fighter, he's jaw dropping. Several times I've wondered how he was able to win. How did he come back from that Randleman slam? He KO'd Arlovski with what seemed like a magic punch.

Fedor is a mysterious soul and a humble fighter. His management seems to make most decisions for him, so the chance of him coming to the UFC and destroying the top tier heavys is looking kind of grim.

Thats the only crit I have against Fedor. He needs to fight more and against the best possible competition. Not saying Arlovski or Silvia are jokes, (OK maybe Silvia) but recently hes only fought like once or twice a year and aginst some questionable opponants.

Feed him Randy, Carwin, Brock, Mir, Barnett, and Vitor. That will seal his legacy as the best fighter in the world.. Ever.

The thing about Fedor that makes him very different from all the Brock's, Mir's, Lidell's and Nick Diaz's of the world is that Fedor does not need to psych himself up before a fight. He does not need to make himself angry at his opponent or create bad blood through verbally combative interviews. Fedor fights with the soul purpose of displaying his fighting style to the world. Fedor's greatest weapon is humble persona and his complete domination of most of his fights. Without saying or doing anything outside of the ring he has already mentally broke most fighters. Placing a seed of doubt inside their heads. That lack of knowing and realistic fear is what makes his so dangerous.

You're a Fedor fan too huh. If you ever want to make Fedor laugh just say.....Tim Silvia. How did you find Fedor artwork?? He likes to do those children book type illustrations. VEEEERY INtreesting i gotta admit. It's funny how hes so humble and draws and everything and he's so brutal in the ring.I'm gonna post this on MMALINKER.

>>Fedor fought twice in 2006 and 2007, once in 2008 and once already in 2009.

Fight more Fedor!!<<

When you're right you're right; Fedor fighting more is what we all need.

I do forgive him for not fighting so much in the past 3 years as he was in organisational limbo for much of that time. Plus since hooking up with Affliction he's been making up for lost time like mother. If he can get on a 2-3 fight per year pace that would be good (I believe that's about average for a champ).

Wow!!! I didn't know that!!! Hey I am a Gracie Jiu-jitsu purple belt and I am also a cartoonist slash animator, but my drawings are not as tender and lovely as Fedor's. Oh, by the way, Fedor lost for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. "Triangulo" as we say in Brasil.
